Going to kdev_t being a pointer to a structure.
Then all these hard limits are non-issue. This statical limit just comes
from the fact that so far Linux uses static one and two dimensional arrays
for block devices which have to be sized early and due to races cannot be
easily resized.

Edit drivers/scsi/hosts.h and s/2/50/.
